SPOT THE BALL Knockout Round 1 & Duffers Trophy

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Tue May 04, 2021 7:52 pm

This will start as soon as we can decide who will be Runner-Up in Champions League A

It will run until the final whistle v Fulham

These are the Fixtures

For "Runner-Up A", read Green Parrot or RedCloud203

In the Michael Duff Trophy, over 3 Rounds, there will be 15 images. These images will be scored "individually" rather than against any other player (Just as we used to do it). The player with the highest number of points over the 15 images will be the Winner. Simples. Those who don't want to take part, no pressure, no problem.

Whilst we have the attention of all those who are left in the Champions League, Europa League and the Michael Duff Trophy, me, Spot and Slappy would like to thank you all for sticking with us.

It's been a long, hard, and sometimes difficult season, but you've been there at every VAR decision, Spot-like mistake and arithmetic melt-down.

I do have to thank one person... Mrs RCC who puts a shift in every week. She deals with the occasional tantrum (Usually Spot's) and ensures that I get to t'Turf on time on match days, with my Season Ticket in hand !

Whoever wins, and we already have two Cup Winners this Season (Sproggy and OldClaret101), enjoy and STAY SAFE !

Can I assume that the answer to image 1 isn’t where that big football is (9A/9B) ...... or is it?

Be careful if you're using Oregano, not too much. Remember what it did to him last time?!

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Mon May 10, 2021 10:28 am

Why do you not have a camera to hand when you need one?

Get the picture... Slappy has put his retro mac on, tie to one side, trilby on, a "press" ticket tucked in the hat band. His shoes haven't seen polish in months and his trousers have never seen an iron, ever! He has a pencil behind his ear and another in his left hand. Notebook is open but nothing written yet. He looks like he knows what he's doing.

Earlier on, he said that today was a "Front Page Day". Not sure what he meant but I guess that he's looking for Knockout shocks from today's games.

So, where are the surprises (shocks) going to come from?

Oooops ! Someone's at the front door. Back soon

Just a reminder for the Michael Duff Trophy. Been eliminated from the Champions League, or Europa League? You can take part in the Duffer's Trophy.

All of the Champions League matches have been decided and Slappy is running around like a real journo-type hack! He's got that look on his face that says "I know something you don't!"

All will be revealed at the final whistle tonight, with the Semi-finals of the Champions League and Europa League, together with the continuation of the Duffer's Trophy, starting tomorrow.

Excited? You will be

Not sure about a home tie, home form been a bit like Burnley’s.

WIth the appearance of Mr TopTier, ALL of the Europa League and Champions League games have been completed.

The results will be declared at the final whistle but it is not giving anyway to say that there is ONE draw. Hopefully, we can play added time tomorrow before starting the Semi-finals.
